Early Childhood UPK-4 Program

Young Minds offers a FREE full-day child-centered program open to 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds, and pre-kindergarten (Universal pre-kindergarten 4-year-olds). Each child is accepted as an individual and recognized for their unique abilities. The program supports your future leader’s learning and educational development. Cultural differences are valued and celebrated through creative expression, play, and various stimulating and engaging classroom activities.

 

Young Minds has graduated over 6,000 young leaders since its commencement. Young Minds prides itself on cultivating and maintaining an intergenerational community. In addition, Young Minds has built a strong legacy over the past five decades, nurturing not just one, but four generations of families, which speaks volumes to the quality of care and education provided. 

Our FREE program is open to all students and provides an academic-based program that builds the skills required for young minds to succeed in the steps to come.

We not only nurture collaboration, we model it.

Working together toward a common goal is something we practice every day at Young Minds. We foster meaningful relationships with families, school staff, and the community to help optimize each child's learning and growth.
